Welcome

We offer a personalized approach to fly fishing and a little “bug” lesson just for fun.

In Michigan, you are never more than three and a half miles from a body of water. We are blessed with an abundance of great fishing and beautiful scenery. Take a trip down the first designated Natural & Scenic River and find your own serenity. All four seasons in northern Michigan offer spectacular fishing opportunities.
